Live Sand?

I have a 55 gal FOWLR tank with a 100 gal cannister filter that i have running nearly 6 months. I apparently made a mistake when i bought crushed coral instead of Live sand. Does anyone know if theres a way of adding Live sand to the existing tank safely or would i have to remove all the crushed coral from the tank and start the tank over? Also what would the actual best set of a clenup crew be ive seen all these packages onlie with 20 snals and 10 crabs and to mee it just seems liek that would over run my 55 gal tank or that there would not be enough for them to survive on, any one have a good custom made package they are willing to share the recipe of haha? If anyone has any suggestion id greatly appreciate it Thanks!

You can slowly remove the CC and replace it with Live sand. Do this over the course of 1 month.
